  • US President GW Bush has ordered shooting down of the crippled spy satellite in the next two weeks,according to some senior officials.The officials laid out a high-tech plan to intercept the satellite over the Pacific just before it tumbles uncontrollably to Earth carrying toxic fuel.Bush ordered the action to prevent any possible contamination from the hazardous rocket fuel on board.

    Demolishing the satellite on the fringes of space will be a challenging mission for the US Military and will have to rely on an unforeseen use of ship-based weapons,used to defend against ballistic missile attacks.
    The military and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) have calculated that the best opportunity to shoot down the satellite with an interceptor missile is just before it re-enters the atmosphere and starts to tumble and break apart on a random path toward the surface, an opportunity that begins in three to four days and continues for eight days.
